Nothing which hasn't become expected from that pisspot scratching of a channel.

    EDITHaving lambasted them above, only right to proffer credit where it is due - here's a vid of Shepherd Smith interviewing Joe The Plumber on Faux last night about some craziness Joe's been shilling about Obama and Israel. During the interview, the McCain camp releases a statement which all but endorses Joe's paranoid rantings. To his credit, Smith ends the piece as follows:
    Not sure there's much point in believing that Fox News has any credibility within American Society as being in any way 'Fair and Balanced'. Fox News has effectively become a parady of itself, especially in the final few days of the election.

    This clip speaks volumes of it's own desperate nature for the Republican / Conservative / subtly racist viewer. The fact that they have employed (and you can be sure JTP has received recompense for sharing his 'own views') the valued and experienced opinions of a Plumber, who himself in this clip admitted he had absolutely nothing to back up this clap-trap of 'Death to Israel' story.

    Quite pathetic and equally hilarious to think that this is the depth of desperation that Fox News and the Republicans have stooped to. It's like watching the House of Cards collapse, day by day.

    Has anyone noticed that foxnews has declared war on Obama tonight. After the row between his spokesman and their anchor Megyn Kelly regarding Fox bias they have abandoned any pretence at "fair and balanced" coverage

    Fox News biased? There's got to be someone on the planet who finds that a total absolute suprise. Probably a hermit who's been living in a cave fro teh past 50 years.

    The Democrats only have CNN, ABC, MSNBC, PBS, 90% of the print media, hollywood, the internet and so on.
    Liquidate labour, liquidate stocks, liquidate the farmers, liquidate real estate.

    Well, according to FutureTaoiseach most of the press is owned by GOP-partisans. I don't know what to believe.

    I didn't say that. I said the press is less hostile terrain for the GOP than is the broadcast media.

    When I asked you why the press weren't saying that Republican vote-tampering posed a serious threat to the overall election result, you told me to remember "who owns the press in the US". I asked what you meant and you said: "That much of the press is GOP-partisan owned".

    Now admittedly that was two days ago and you may have done another 180 degree "re-evaluation of your position" but that's what you said. No point denying it. Who were you talking about, by the way?

    Erm....theres a REASON most of the coverage is negative, he's made one blunder after another.

    THIS would be an interesting outcome, a 269-269 tie



    That would make the weeks after 2000 look like a unity show.
